Some people may have noticed I haven't been as omnipresent here lately; since getting the Western Front Patch 7 for Red Baron 3D I've been engrossed totally by what is practically an entirely new game.
The incredibly improved textures, skins, and re-tooled flight characteristics have got me hooked.
So very much more authentic, so many new flyable planes, so many frail and easily victimised adveraries...uhm, and some that are so much more deadly than in the standard version's it isn't funny. Fucking SPADS....

I've started several campaigns in order to see what the patches provide; but I 've found that my best luck comes with flying in Jasta 5 starting late 1916.
It's a bloody slaughter of French aviators over Verdun, the current date is November 19th, 1916, and I joined September 1st.
So far, I'm up to 30 kills, I'm the third highest scoring ace of the war in that time period (only Oswald Boelcke and Albert Ball are ahead of me, and Boelcke's dead now), and I've gotten the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd classes, the Ordre pour le Merite (Blue Max), and the Knight's Cross of the Order of the House of Hohenzollern (Order of the Black Eagle).
The only two medals that I can still get are the Order of The Red Eagle (Manfred von Richtofen was the only historical pilot to ever get that one) and Oak Leaves for my Blue Max....
Bringing heilige deutsche Kultur to the benighted peoples of France in the form of death from above; it's wanktastic fun, and I thought I'd share.
